  • Cooks Illustrated: Brining Basics
    The Basics of Brining How salt, sugar, and water can improve texture and flavor in lean meats, poultry, and seafood. BY JULIA COLLIN Why are some roast turkeys dry as sawdust while others boast meat that’s firm, juicy, of weight—call it, for lack of a better phrase, water retention—that stays with it through and well seasoned? The answer is brining. Soaking a turkey in a brine—a solution of salt the cooking process. This weight gain translates into moist meat; the salt and sugar in (and often sugar) and a liquid (usually water)—provides it with a plump cushion of sea- the brine translate into seasoned, flavorful meat. And this applies to all likely candidates soned moisture that will sustain it throughout cooking. The turkey will actually gain a bit for brining (see below). For a complete understanding of the process, read on. HOW IT WORKS THE BEST CANDIDATES FOR BRINING Brining works in accordance with two principles, called diffusion and osmosis, that like things to be kept in Lean and often mildly flavored meats with a tendency equilibrium. When brining a turkey, there is a greater concentration of salt and sugar outside of the turkey to overcook—such as chicken, turkey, and pork—are (in the brine) than inside the turkey (in the cells that make up its flesh). The law of diffusion states that perfect candidates for brining, which leaves them plump the salt and sugar will naturally flow from the area of greater concentration (the brine) to lesser concen- and seasoned. Many types of seafood also take well to tration (the cells).

  • About Brining
    All About Brining Brining is a popular method for improving the flavor and moisture content of lean meats like chicken, turkey, pork and seafood. This topic explains how brining works, which cuts of meat benefit most from brining, and concludes with a couple of recipes to get you started. Background On Brining Historically, brining has been used as a method to preserve meat. Meat is soaked for many days in a very strong saltwater solution with the addition of sugar, spices, and other ingredients. This curing process binds the water in the meat or removes it altogether so it's not available for the growth of food- spoiling microorganisms. With the advent of mechanical refrigeration, traditional brining became less popular for food preservation, but is still used today in the production of some meat products. Introducing Flavor Brining Today there's a surge in popularity of "flavor brining", a term coined by Bruce Aidells and Denis Kelly in the book The Complete Meat Cookbook. While traditional brining was meant to preserve meat, the purpose of flavor brining is to improve the flavor, texture, and moisture content of lean cuts of meat. This is achieved by soaking the meat in a moderately salty solution for a few hours to a few days. Flavor brining also provides a temperature cushion during cooking--if you happen to overcook the meat a little, it will still be moist. At a minimum, a flavor brine consists of water and salt. Other ingredients may include sugar, brown sugar, honey, molasses, maple syrup, fruit juices, beer, liquor, bay leaves, pickling spices, cloves, garlic, onion, chilies, citrus fruits, peppercorns, and other herbs and spices.

  • Food Facts Highlights: Brine Meats Before Grilling for Moistness and Flavor It Seems That Brining of Meat Is All the Rage
    Food Facts Highlights: Brine Meats before Grilling for Moistness and Flavor It seems that brining of meat is all the rage. But how does it work? A food scientist explains how a soak in a salt solution makes lean meat juicier and more flavorful. But note, while brining will improve quality - especially of grilled meat, it may not be appropriate for those who need to restrict sodium in their diet. From an article by Shirley O. Corriher- FineCooking http://www.taunton.com/finecooking/pages/c00169.asp Roasted turkey breast, sautéed pork chops, and stir-fried shrimp all tend to suffer a common fate when they're cooked even a few minutes longer than necessary: they get dry and tough. Actually, any kind of meat or fish will taste like shoe leather if it's severely overcooked, but turkey, pork, and shrimp are particularly vulnerable because they're so lean. Luckily, there's a simple solution (literally) for this problem. Soaking these types of leaner meats in a brine -- a solution of salt and water -- will help ensure moister, juicier results. How Brining Works Moisture loss is inevitable when you cook any type of muscle fiber. Heat causes raw individual coiled proteins in the fibers to unwind -- the technical term is denature -- and then join together with one another, resulting in some shrinkage and moisture loss. Normally, meat loses about 30% of its weight during cooking. But if you soak the meat in a brine first, you can reduce this moisture loss during cooking to as little as 15% according to Dr.

  • Salty Comments
    Salty Comments Facts and Opinion about Open Salt Collecting June 2003 Number 83 Salt---Salt---Salt It all started with Kay’s gourmet club. The theme for the month was “Rustic Normandy (France)”, and three of the recipes called for “Sea Salt” The club encourages you to follow recipes exactly. To avoid a trip to the beach 2 hours away, we started exploring local grocery stores. Several had bottles with the proper labels, but the salt was coarse and there was no indication of which sea it came from. We finally found an 8 oz. bottle at the Kitchen Inc. store identified as salt from Brittany in France.. It cost 50 cents an ounce, so it must be a profitable product. This led us to find out more about the history of the stuff. It turns out there is enough to fill a book – see reference below. We decided to pass along a few of the more interesting bits. Information about salt goes back thousands of years. In the early days, it was part of the Roman soldiers’ pay. There are several versions of this, but we prefer the Encyclopedia Britannica’s which says that soldiers were originally given a ration of salt along with their food. The material was so valuable that they sold it rather than eat it. When the army decided to stop the salt ration, they had to give the troops an increase in pay to compensate. This increase was called the “salarium” (salt money, we guess), which led to the word “salary” today. Just where their salt came from is unclear – there might have been salt mines but it could have been made by evaporating sea water.

  • Iodized Salt During the Great Depression in the 1920S, and Iodine Deficiency Was Spreading in Parts of the Country and Causing Goitre, Enlarging the Thyroid Gland
    When assessing different salts, we consider the four following elements: S Taste, crunch and melt-in-your- A mouth qualities Size, shape, colour, moisture content and density of the crystals Properties in the salt from the L landscape it was taken from (ash, clay etc.), andProperties added to T the salt after harvesting (smoke, wine, flowers etc.). While the base ingredient in most salts is indeed sodium chloride, the location and method of production impact the final makeup of salt, much like wine, where the intrinsic properties of the grapes are characterized by the soil or 'terroir', the geological makeup of the regions in which salts are harvested have a significant bearing on their flavours. Copyright © FoodLogic 2021 - All Rights Reserved What are the different types? Table Salt Considered the perfect all-purpose salt, table salt is used as an ingredient or seasoning in most cooking and baking recipes. Table salt will usually contain added iodine as iodine deficiency has become common in many parts. Anti- caking agents are typically added to table salt to prevent clumping and keep the salt flowing freely. Table salt has a uniform crystal size, which is excellent for concise and consistent cooking when measuring volume. Rock Salt Rock salt is salt that has been extracted from underground salt mines through the process of mining with dynamite and then crushed further for food use. It can be found under the rugged layers of the Earth's surface and is scientifically known as halite. Rock salt is a popular salt type for specialty applications.
